Academy Alumni Network

My whole life changed since attending the Wildlife Leadership Academy where I talked to so many knowledgeable adults who wanted to spend time with the other teenagers that were there with me. These adults opened my eyes to what I could do to teach everyone else in the world about the passion I have for the outdoors.

Wildlife Leadership Academy changed my view on the world and how we interact with our environment. It also taught me how to become more of a leader and put myself out there for people to see.

Because of Wildlife Leadership Academy, I am more aware of conservation and how to magnify my efforts toward it. I was also exposed to a fantastic network of organizations dedicated to this purpose. Learning at this age in my life, rather than later, impacted me greatly in how I think about the environment and its inhabitants.

Before Wildlife Leadership Academy, I had no idea how much of an impact conservation had on our world and the way we live our lives. It has influenced me to become more aware of how I live my life, and what I can do to spread the word so others can do the same.
